The headphones are not designed to wear to a concert. It's for when you're at home some distance or far away from the noise! The idea is to cut down on the noise enough to make it almost unnoticeable. Especially if you're listening to TV, a podcast, or some music that you like. Sheesh - wearing noise cancelling (dampening) headphone at a concert tells us a lot...

Here is a better idea: Buy a pair of Noise Cancelling Headphones. Either Bose QC II/III or Sony XM4/5 will do the trick. I have both. The Bose are in my village bungalow, the Sony's are here at my house in the city. Both work well, but the Bose are better. Mind you they are expensive, but they absolutely get rid of loud noise without the hassle of trying to find good neighbors. They're also portable so use them in shopping malls, extremely loud concerts, festivals, weddings, funerals, etc.

It can be sarcasm - for some, the experience is real... I have both wealthy and poor acquaintances living here.

Just want to throw some fodder out there.... This is who the LTR Visa is intended for...not the expats/sexpats on Asean Now who thought it was meant for them. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/i-live-better-in-thailand-than-i-did-in-the-u-s-here-s-how-much-it-costs/vi-AA10nj0A?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=5312d115bb0647319a3025723039c106

Police can't stop outbreaks of violence. By design, they're reactive, not preventative. Hence, the name Police - i.e. cleanup...

Here's an idea...regular police patrols tend to keep people somewhat honest.

My god man, have you been living in a cave?

I get the feeling you've never smoked a joint in your life. The young kids in this country have been smoking weed (and eating it in their food) since Christ was a corporal... You should dispose of all that propaganda material you've been watching and reading - not good for your sanity.

I don't see a problem - yet. Been one myself for over 50 years and have yet to see potheads causing much trouble. Alcoholics on the other hand, seem to do the most damage to society... I could be wrong, but I don't think I am.

Right. But I'd suggest that the "real" angry white men hail from the USA...

It Would have been more helpful had you mentioned which country he came from and what class (business or economy class) ...

You guys?... So I take it you never smoked Thai Stick back in the day? I've smoked then and now... you can't compare weed grown 50/40 years ago with weed cultivation today. That's like trying to compare Michael Jordan to Lebron James - doesn't work. Sound like a kid talking out of his behind... Don't take it personally, a lot of people have nothing to go on but pure conjecture.

Not exactly! I worked in Thailand back in the early 70's and through the 80's. The weed here was killer...meanwhile what people were smoking in California, North Carolina, Florida, New Mexico and Colorado where I frequented because of work was simply dirt weed or leaves soaked in chemicals such as PCP or whatever. Now days all of the above places have killer weed, but so-called real Thai stick (Buddah) either doesn't exist or is imported...

On the other hand, it could have been real. People get sick from things even if they just think about them. I'm allergic to perfume. I get sick just walking around the mall smelling all the fabric softener in clothes and the aroma therapy smells in almost every clothing store. It may not bother you one bit, but can be deadly for others!

That would make it no different than it was back in the early 1970s when I first visited Thailand. If someone decided to call the BiB because you were smoking weed, either they or the Thai Police would hit you up for a few Baht and that was all...on your way until the next incident.

As a matter of fact, a lot of them are. However, they are nothing like the old fat arrogant birds found in the US, UK and other western nations! Quite more palatable I might add.

Describes my situation exactly. Me and mostly every friend I have here are married to Thai women that are within one or three years of our own age.

Mighty quiet on here. All the guys that were pumping crypto seem to have disappeared. Just askin'

Only your local Immigrations office can tell you for sure. Unless someone from your particular area had this issue and can tell you how it was resolved...

I didn't hear you complaining when the UK Pound was sky high...but then, I'm not sure you get paid in Pounds. Still, what goes around comes around.

Anyone paying attention would realize that. I have been making transfers about 1 to 2 weeks in advance of US paydays in order to avoid this. Also happens around holidays and world events. The key is to have funds in a holding pattern so one can take advantage of the highs and dodge the lows as much as possible.

Would be nice to know what Province you applied at. I've been here over 20 years, live in Ubon and not once has an IO inquired about my 90 day report at extension of stay time...

A lawyer? Do you know anything about living in Thailand?!? Your best bet is to suck it up and move on when your lease expires...

You're nit picking and you know it. The bike is a knock-off and a rip-off specifically designed to imitate and undercut Honda - which I might add is doing a fine job at that. But carry on...
